ROTTEN Recruits New Guitarist

September 22, 2010

Dutch death metallers ROTTEN — who feature in their ranks members of RADICAL NERVE DISTORTION, REBORN and HACKSAW — have announced the addition of guitarist John to the group's ranks. The band states, " It only took one session to find out that John was the man for ROTTEN. Both John and ROTTEN feel confindent about the future and so ROTTEN is whole again."

ROTTEN has resumed work on its debut album, "Quality Killings", which was originally due in the summer of 2010, but will now be made available in the winter. Recording of the new songs will start in October. Mixing will be done by drummer Marco and the mastering will be handled by Swedish multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Swanö.

"I think we've hit the bullseye with this one," says ROTTEN guitarist Martijn. "We've had a great session and John has already memorized most of the current songs. The next few weeks we'll make him familiar with the new material."

"Quality Killings" tentative track listing:

* Headchopper
* Slaughtered at the Station
* Shovel Slayer
* Assassinated and Buried
* Butchering of a Body
* Fragrance of Death
* Razorblade Mutilation
* Dead's War
* The Morgue
* Human Insanity
* Bonus track (to be announced)

ROTTEN recently recorded a cover version of GAMMA RAY's "Leaving Hell" for an upcoming tribute album to HELLOWEEN and GAMMA RAY. The CD, entitled "HelloRay - A Tribute To Helloween & Gamma Ray", will be made available via Epicus Records.
